I don’t want to hear any complaining; Bruins got smacked on the Farm and in Eugene. To make matters worse, the NFL is so desperate for quarterbacks that can throw in the vicinity of a receiver (hey, what’s Tebow up to these days?), Hundley is projected as a first rounder and he might go out this year. He’s nowhere near ready, but first round money is first round money and coming out gets you one year closer to the real payday at the end of the first contract.
Not much emotional skin the game today. I would love to see Navy beat ND but for bad reasons, and I’ve rooted for Michigan State against Michigan since I was a kid unless MI was National Champion-caliber.
Hating on Miami, I will be a big Florida State fan tonight. Plus I’d like to see the Bears start working on acquiring the Seminole QB starting…NOW!

If the Gators win over the Dawgs, will Raven be able to comment? Betty will be lying in the weeds waiting for him.

The local announcers are saying they need to learn to control their emotions. haha
@JPL: I was surprised what a jerk Gurley was, it was obvious early they were trying to goad him into getting tossed. As far as the last play, fuck than knee shit, go for the endzone.
@Keith P.: Gurley might miss next week’s game against Appalachian State.
A friend told me that the GA Tech/Pitt game that is on ESPN U is the first time the two schools have played since the 1956 Sugar Bowl. Pitt had a black player and there was doubt that Tech would be allowed to play them because of that.

Gurley will sit the first half of the Appalachian State game. Judging by how gassed he got, it’s probably a blessing in disguise.

Damn, Tre Mason (Auburn) said he was gonna get 200 yards and 3 touchdowns, and it looks like he might do it (over 100 yards and 3 TDs in the early 3rd)
Just took the offspring to his first Cal game. Absolutely classic Golden Bears: lots of blown chances, a frustratingly narrow loss, and a couple of idiotic momentum-killing penalties, offset by a glorious day in Berkeley with bright sunshine, barechested college boys, and the best marching band in America. Could be worse.
@raven: Auburn running back…he doesn’t seem like much, but the offensive line is great at opening holes, and he doesn’t hesitate on blasting through them. He’s up to 126 yards right now, and Auburn just hit a 3rd and 7 for an 88 yard TD. Gus Malzahn has to be a top contender for Coach of the Year; this squad can just pile on some serious points FAST.

Friend just sent me this. It’s your weekend funny:
Did you know that the words “RACE CAR” spelled backward still spell “race car?
And the word “EAT” is the only word that, if you take the first letter and move it to the last, spells its own past tense — “ate?”
And if you rearrange the letters in “TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS,” and add just a few letters, it spells,
“Shut the fuck up you pathetic, progress blocking, benefit-grabbing obstructionists, out-of-the-closet racists, resource-sucking, anti-tax homophobics, violent hypocrites, mindless non-compromising unrealistic idiots, and deal with the fact that you are wrecking the country, and the President of the United States is black, so get over it you morons?”
